Evening market in Palm Springs every Thursday between 6-9 pm.Street closed off, various art, crafts, food, jewellery stalls. Good atmosphere, great for people watching and passing a few happy hours. One of the main attractions of a quiet Palm Springs. more

During Village Fest every Thursday streets are closed for traffic and a lot of people are out, just strolling and enjoying. Numerous different street vendors offer their handcraft, bought some very nice nature photos. A very nice break in the otherwise fairly quiet night life in PS in June. more

If you are looking for a local artist... more

Walk the blocks of old Palm Canyon Drive at sundown. Local vendors hawk dates, kettlecorn, music, art, and glass earrings from six to nine on Thursday nights. This was a pleasant way to see the shops and restaurants along the main strip of the historic downtown. Stop anywhere to get a bite of dinner. more
